Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Pre-NOC storyboard review
-
Our client needs to submit its packaging to Health Canada as a part of its NDS. The packaging will have a QR code leading to an administration video. Health Canada would like the storyboard of the video approved by PAAB. Note that there is no PM yet. Can we have just the storyboard approved pre-NOC without a draft PM, and not have to include a video itself? Would this fall under a 10 day pre-NOC review?

Hello @Jennifer-Thomson
It sounds like this would fall under a PILOT: Administrative Guideline for the Review of Pre-NOC Advertising Submissions. We’d get the file to “no further comments” pending review of the layout (video) post NOC. Please reach out to admin to discuss the specifics so that we can ensure we’re understanding the request and facilitating the best possible pathway to approval.
